Opening Days are weird.
Snow, wind, injury. Last year, the White Sox opened with seven straight games on the West Coast, then came right back to Chicago for a home opener without a breath. Five years ago, Matt Davidson hit three homers in on Opening Day for the White Sox, fell 10 feet short of a fourth, set a record for exit velocity — and by season’s end, had a more promising future as a relief pitcher. Hell, the Cubs won yesterday.
This Opening Day, featuring lost leads by Chicago in the eighth AND ninth innings, took a little while to turn upside-down.
